FAQs
Your questions answered
Channels (5)
Yes you can – this means that all the playback devices in that Group would be playing the same channel.
Yes, in order to publish your signage layout, you need to create a Channel and assign a playback device or a group of devices to the channel.
A Channel essentially works on contribute signage just as it does on your TV. You are deciding what is going to be shown on that device. The reason that we use channels is that having the ability to assign a channel means we can assign the same channel to a single device, or a group of playback devices. This is helpful if we want to show the same information on different screens.
Creating Signage (5)
Yes, just be mindful of the size of the video if you are using 4K. A 200mb video will put a lot of drain on your playback device.
Widgets are additions to your pictures and videos to bring your signage to life. We include Widgets for the Time, Date, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and RSS feeds.
Yes, there is a WYSIWIG editor to help you create the signage layouts.
No. However, having an eye for design does make creating something that looks the part easier!
Crisis Management (4)
Yes, you can see which user sent the messages on the system.
Yes, you can – either all devices, Groups of Devices, or a Single Device.
We have templates for the following scenarios
You can also send a custom message by choosing the “Custom” option, and then typing your own message.
The idea of crisis management is that in the event of an emergency, you can quickly change the display on all screens to show a message. This is particularly useful if you have a TouchIT LED in your building or room as they can also be triggered to display the warning messages.
Licensing (6)
No, sorry, you will need to purchase a license at the end of your trial or register for a new trial account
Single Playback Device. $149
1-10 Devices $999
Unlimited (per building). $3999
Yes, simply purchase the license you require from the store, then add it to your Admin control panel when you login.
We offer three simple licensing models and the centre around how many displays or playback devices you are going to use. We have the following options;
1) A Single Display / Playback Device
2) 1-10 Displays / Playback Device
3) Unlimited (per building)
Media Gallery (5)
Only users that have been created by your “master admin” will be able to see the files. For example, Customer A in Austin, TX will not be able to access Customer B in Boston, MA’s files because they are in a different account.
Currently, there is no limit. To keep it this way, please be respectful with the size and number of files you are uploading.
Currently, the space is unlimited within reason. So, to keep it that way, try and keep the size of your files to a reasonable level.
Playback Devices (3)
This is dictated by your license that you have purchased.
A playback device is a Windows or Android based device that has the Contribute Signage App installed on it. The Contribute Signage App converts that device into a playback device as it is able to “play back” a digital signage layout that you have created at contributesignage.com
